Trivia & Fun Facts

There is so much about this world that we do not know. Here are some interesting fun facts, trivias about this wonder-ful world – courtesy of Facebook pages ‘Colours of Nature’, ‘Ancestral Stories’, ‘Weird Facts’, ‘Unbelievable Facts’, ‘Today I Learned’, Science and facts, Crazy creatures, The Knowledge Factory, The study secrets etc… However, I do not know if they are true. Some of them sound really incredible.

Chinese researchers have created an innovative, tree-free “sand paper” — a sustainable material that could revolutionize the paper industry. Developed by the Tianjin Institute of Chemical Technology, this eco-friendly paper is made from desert sand and plant-based binders, requiring almost no water in its production process.

The process involves coating fine grains of sand with a non-toxic polymer that binds them into thin, flexible sheets. The result looks and feels like traditional paper but is tear-resistant, waterproof, and recyclable. Unlike wood pulp paper, this method doesn’t contribute to deforestation or water pollution — two of the biggest environmental costs of conventional paper-making.

Each ton of this sand-based paper saves roughly 20 trees and 30,000 liters of water, making it a potential game changer for arid regions. China plans to scale production in areas near the Gobi and Tengger Deserts, turning sand into a valuable raw material for a greener economy. – A Facebook post by ‘Engineering Facts’

Gas in your intestines comes from swallowed air and bacteria breaking down food. Normally, you release it as a fart (or sometimes a burp).

But if you constantly hold it in, pressure builds up, your gut stretches, and you can get bloating or cramps. When that happens, doctors say some of the gas can actually pass through your gut wall, enter your bloodstream, travel to your lungs, and get breathed out.

Only a small amount takes this route — and it doesn’t make your breath smell like farts — but it’s another reason why letting gas out is healthier and way more comfortable. – A Facebook post by ‘Weird Facts’

The human heart produces a magnetic field that is more than 100 times stronger than the field generated by the brain. This powerful field can be detected up to 3 feet away from the body and changes depending on emotional states. Scientists have discovered that the energy emitted by the heart influences brain activity, showing that our emotions literally affect the energy we give off.

Research from HeartMath indicates that people who practice heart coherence techniques, such as deep breathing, meditation, or gratitude exercises, experience improved brain function, reduced anxiety, and enhanced focus. These practices help align the heart and brain, creating a more balanced and efficient system for processing emotions and making decisions.

This research challenges the traditional belief that intelligence and emotional awareness come solely from the brain. Instead, it shows that the heart and brain work together in a dynamic, bidirectional system. The heart plays a central role in intuition, emotional intelligence, and even how others sense the energy we radiate. Understanding this connection opens the door to practices that improve both mental clarity and emotional well-being. – A Facebook post by ‘Brain Talks’
